Rick Latona, who seemed to be everywhere in the domain industry a year ago, is going through some big changes too. Latona exited so many of his domain enterprises that people were wondering what he is up to now. Latona himself answered the question in a post on his blog Sunday in which he revealed he has enrolled in an executive education program at the Harvard Business School.

Latona said, "I'm here for a number of reasons, most notably to make better decisions. I need and want to learn the advanced financial and analytical skills that they will teach me. Too much has gone wrong in the last couple of years and I feel that sometimes it's better to take one step backwards so you can take two steps forward." Latona added, "It feels like a warm and sunny new day to me."

Frank Schilling

Elsewhere, legendary domain investor Frank Schilling has gotten a lot of people excited by quietly rolling out a new domain monetization service at InternetTraffic.com. You will need to have very high quality type-in domains to get onto the platform, but if you have the qualifying traffic Schilling promises "You will make significantly more money here" 

A lot of people or companies could make such a statement and have it immediately dismissed as hype. However, with Frank's track record of success, honesty and integrity, he is going to attract a lot of business because people know he doesn't say something like that unless he means it. People have been praying for something to revive the moribund PPC business. This won't do it for everyone, but from those who have quality traffic portfolios it could provide a most welcome change.
